ONE Born Every Minute, the Bafta award-winning show which has captured the heart of the nation continues tonight.

The Channel 4 documentary series has moved to Birmingham Women's Hospital for the 11th series and the show follows the work of heroic staff as they help bring new life into the world. Here's all the info...

What's the documentary about?

It shows the day-to-day events on a busy maternity ward in highly dramatic and often gruesome detail.

The midwives of Birmingham Women's Hospital situated in Edgbaston — as well as institutions in Liverpool, Leeds, Bristol and Southampton — have had to deal with some tragic things on camera, including stillbirths and neonatal deaths.

But a variety of birth and check-up experiences are shown on the programme, and viewers are often left with tears of joy in their eyes.

A lot of humour is also brought to the show when the midwives have a bit of banter, with one remarking: “You’ll never find Mr Right on the maternity ward. I think I’ll meet someone in Asda.”
